Stowe Testimonials

“

My solicitor was Kate Rayner and I would like to say what an excellent solicitor she was. Extremely professional, articulate, very competent and she helped me through a very difficult time.

Mr Y

Kate Rayner at the Hale office provided services of an excellent nature in every way. She is of a very approachable character, highly professional, extremely well organised and takes the time to explain and clarify all of the processes and legal terms involved. Her financial and business knowledge proved invaluable in resolving any business related matters, as well as private ones.

Mr H

I had a very messy divorce and my ex husband (a barrister) made life as complicated as he could. My solicitor, Kate Rayner, was methodical and totally on the ball and even when, at the last minute, my ex husband tried to have the hearing adjourned, she managed to get everything back on track. She was always professional and extremely competent. She also chose a barrister that I was very happy with and between them they achieved a very good financial settlement for me. I cannot speak highly enough of the service I received.

Mrs P

This review rates specifically to Kate Rayner who handled my divorce proceedings with a level of professionalism, pragmatism and empathy which was outstanding - I would have no hesitation in recommending Kate to anyone who needed family law advice

Mr W

I have just completed a divorce this year using Stowe Family Law. My experience was excellent throughout. From the very first meeting Kate was very helpful, professional and clear with me about everything. This was especially valuable to me at what is clearly a difficult time personally and she made the whole process very straightforward. I would definitely recommend Stowe and would like to thank them for their help.
